Three Brothers Rocks have the best story in Baikal legend: A father had three sons who were all in love with the same woman. It caused so much trouble for the family that the father just turned them all to stone instead. Problem solved!

Lake Baikal is an ancient, massive lake in the mountainous Russian region of Siberia, north of the Mongolian border. It is the deepest lake 1,642 meters) and the largest by volume, containing 22–23% of the world's fresh surface water.
Geography aside it's beautiful. Plenty of endemic species of fish, flora and fauna make it their home and I'm glad to be here.
Wish I had more time to explore it and some warmer clothing. #baikal , #байкал , #irkutsk , #russianwinter ,#russia , #lake , #freshwater , #beautifulnature , #transsiberian , #transsiberianrailway

I assumed the whole Trans Mongolian journey would have amazing views, but actually the best part is just one tiny section around Lake Baikal! So if you don't have time to visit it overnight, at least you'll still get a glimpse of it on your way too or from Irkutsk.

I wrote a pitch for a social media project this morning and it reminded me how much I love train travel.⠀
⠀
Unlike traveling by car, on a train, there's no traffic, and no need to worry about directions or keeping your eyes on the road. You can stand up and walk around when you need to, and there's a cafe car for when you get hungry. Flying may be faster, but these days it's also a lot more stressful, from security lines to baggage fees, and you miss out on all of the scenery and stops in between your origin and destination.⠀
⠀
Travel is supposed to be fun. A chance to escape from our typical daily routines to see and experience something new and different. Ultimately, train travel is about appreciating and savoring the journey, not only the destination. all of the interesting places and experiences along the way.⠀
⠀
Some of my most cherished travel memories have been on trains. I traveled by train across much of Europe as well as Russia, India, Japan, Indonesia, and Viet Nam. I've crossed borders by train, from Malaysia to Singapore on a sleeper train, and from Russia to Finland. One of my outstanding "bucket list" travel experiences is to take the Trans-Siberian train across Russia and maybe even continue on to Mongolia or China. I would also love to cross the United States by train.
Maybe this will be the year? ⠀ .
